Daredevil stories tend to focus on much more than the standard hero-fights-villain trope, utilizing the somberness of Daredevil to explore scenarios and themes most other comics cannot come close to. In Daredevil storylines, the story of the hero matters just as much as that of attorney Matt Murdock, thereby imbuing everyday life with the same grit and excitement of being a vigilante.
The best Daredevil comics touch upon those dual lives that Murdock lives, along with the perspectives and lives of Daredevil's greatest villains and allies. By providing voice to Murdock's enemies, many Daredevil story arcs provide complex and compelling storylines about morality and motive. But some of Daredevil's greatest adventures happen when he's not even wearing spandex, when instead he must navigate the obstacles and tragedies of life that even superpowers cannot fix.
